вЂњIt doesnвЂ™t matter whoвЂ™s your grandfather: a former KGB
officer, a soldier of the Red Army or of the Ukrainian Insurgent
Army (UPA), a Chornobyl cleanup veteran or the Afghan War
veteran, a Jewish sufferer or a Polish lord, a deported Crimean
Tatar or a dissident victimised in a GULAG labour camp, an
obedient system element, a metallurgist, or a Carpathian
craftsmanвЂ¦ One is a man and one lived one's life.
The values of your ancestors are in your consciousness. What
are they? Maybe other peopleвЂ™s points of view radically differ
from yours, but what do you actually know about others living in
your country? What lies in their heritage? What is the history of
their families? What environment has shaped them? Why are
they as they are? And what can you learn from them?вЂќ
